Ingredients

1 (9 inch) pie crust pastry
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 cup cooked acorn squash
0.5 cup white sugar
0.5 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gently press your pie crust dough into a 9-inch pie plate, ensuring an even distribution.
In a mixing bowl, combine evaporated milk, cooked squash, white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well combined, then pour it into the prepared pie crust.
Start baking in the preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for the first 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking until the pie center is fully set, approximately 30 minutes.
